Gave Up On SG

[Lucidity Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Lucidity]

Anyone else been completely unable to make the SG work for them?

l tried for a **year** to make the SG work for me... first with wraps, but no matter how i wrapped or with what material (and i tried a LOT of different wats) i could never find that sweet spot between the strap/noose being too tight and too loose.

So then i got a VLC cone and tried that. At first it seemed to work, but it soon started to rub raw a random section or two on the shaft so that i was getting painful sores from it, which forced me to take a break from all PE in general until they healed.

By the way, i did all this while keeping the SG at ~1cm past my flaccid stretched length. l was told by forum members to do this, but maybe it's wrong?

l honestly have no clue

Dam, that must be frustrating. A lot of time spent, and the SG isnt cheap either. But dont give up man. If it were me, i will keep trying different methods until i find one that works for me. Im not too sure how stretched you have to keep it, but remmeber its also important to use the correct tension as tension is what makes you grow. The equation is time x tension = growth, so it is important to use it for at least X amount of hours a day too. Im sure other more knowledgeable members will chime in, there are SG reps too. Just dont give up man, keep trying.

I noticed you said you tried the VLC cone. Not sure what that is, but have you tried the VacExtender Mod?

I got my SG a week ago today. All last week I started with an hour per day, which was fine. Then Friday I aimed for more than an hour and the noose was killing me! So yesterday I ordered the VacExtender Mod V.2. Some guys give it good feedback. Hopefully I get it in the next few days and love it. Also I believe you can use the VacExtender Mod V.2 for hanging, which is a bonus.

Yes the vac extender mod is what worked for me and would recommended anyone having issues extending to go this way. No problems with slippage or being uncomfortable.

you got the size genetics with the silicone noose? or with the new(ish) comfort strap? I never had any slippage or pain problems with the strap, as long as im putting athletic tape around the foam thingy to prevent slippage. it took me less than a week to master strapping

I got it with both the noose and strap

when I was wearing it, I was wearing it for 8-10+ hours. maybe that's too long?

honestly I've sunk so much money into this thing and haven't gotten a cm out of it. i'm not keen on buying anything else for it. I'm in Korea so shipping is expensive

Have you had success with other similar devices and wraps?

Thanks for popping in Bobby. l haven't used any other length devices so i can't say

So this problem you are going through might not be exclusive to the SG.

No idea. but I've spent a lot of money on this thing and I'd like to get some use out of it if at all possible

I was wearing it at least 1cm or more past my stretched flaccid length. I usually wore it for 8-10 hours or more during the day, taking it off only to use the bathroom and sleep. is there anything wrong with what I was doing there?

Try wearing it without the 1/2 inch rule normally applied. And make sure the springs are taking the brunt of the tension and not the rods.

How do i do that?

When you set up the device for wear make sure the springs aren't pressed all the way in. This happens when the rods take up the tension and not the springs.

Ok i'll give it a shot. My only concern is that if l'm not stretching past my stretched flaccid length, how will l be making any progress?

Also, should i be taking breaks from the SG? Or is it safe to wear it ~8 hours straight?

@BobbyR when I put on my SG I have the thumbscrews and hexagon threads all the way down to the base. When I hook up I push all the way down so the rods are up against the thumbscrews. After I'm hooked up and I release only the first 1 to 1 1/2 of the hexagon threads are showing. The others are hidden under the first rod.

Based on what I described are the springs absorbing the tension and and not the rods?

Also, based on what I described what is my tension level in grams?
